Will SIGGRAPH 2004 pay for shipping my work?
No. If your work is accepted, you are responsible for crating, shipping, and in-transit insurance. SIGGRAPH 2004 will insure the work while it is on display at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Do you recommend sending video documentation of my piece?
Absolutely! Time-based documentation is the best way to illustrate the actual experience for the conference attendees. We may also use the video in publicity for Emerging Technologies.

May I submit my unfinished work as a "work in progress" if it is not complete by the submission deadline?
A work in progress may be submitted if it represents at least 95 percent of the final version. Please explain in detail what additions will be made prior to the installation.

I am an artist with an interactive art installation. Will my submission be considered?
Yes. This year, all installation-based works should be submitted to Emerging Technologies. The jury will give consideration to all works.

Will I really have to do a formal presentation of my work at SIGGRAPH 2004?
Yes. The presentation is an excellent format for you to highlight the achievements of your research in front of a larger audience and show some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of your work.

I'm having trouble uploading the high-resolution digital image required for the online submission. What should I do?
If, due to bandwidth restrictions, you cannot upload a high-resolution image, please instead upload a lower-resolution one. Be sure to still include a high-resolution version for publication stills on CD-ROM, Zip disc, Jaz disc, or DVD-ROM as specified in the Submission Procedure Checklist.

My email address will be changing soon. How can I notify you of the update?
When you have a new email address, please email the Emerging Technologies Chair and include your old email address and submission ID number(s).

I've completed the online submission forms, but it still allows me to edit my account. Am I done?
Yes. But you are allowed to edit your online submission account until the deadline: 4 February 2004, 5 pm Pacific time.
